It's not possible to count the words in any language, because there is no universal definition of what a word is. But most estimates place the number between 40,000 and 160,000 words(which is the same range for almost all other languages).

Given that Hawaiian is not a global language, it's likely that the word count is at the low end of the range.


Note: English is an exception. It has the largest number of words of any language in the world, estimated at 170,000 to 250,000 words. No language has more words than English.
